How does it drive?
Here, the van-based underpinnings are immediately apparent. When steering the V-Class around town, even at low speeds, it’s far from the smoothest ride, bouncing and bumping, with road imperfections bouncing into the cabin. Not great.
Still, driving it even on congested city streets is a breeze, as the steering is light and accurate. Visibility is predictably excellent, because you’re sitting nice and high: it’s easy to forget there’s another three metres behind you. But when you drive this and the VW Multivan, which is based on the same platform that underpins cars like the Golf and Tiguan, the difference is night and day.
It’s generally a bit better at motorway speeds, where the roads are smoother and wind and road noise are kept to a minimum. In other words, it’s a good taxi carrier. Just be sure to slow down a bit so as not to throw your passengers around.
Not great. What about the engines?
There are two to choose from: one engine, two power outputs. It’s powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel (yours in V220d and V300d versions) and has a nine-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
The V220d is tuned to produce 161bhp and 280lb ft of torque. It’s a bit of a grunt and if you push it – and you need to do so regularly, considering the V-Class’s enormous weight – it makes its presence felt. It’s not the kind of noise you’d associate with a Benz, even if it’s a minivan.
Is the V300d better?
It’s more compliant. It makes a healthy 234bhp and 368lb ft, and that extra grunt means you don’t have to push it too hard. It still has that familiar diesel growl, but it’s generally a little quieter when you’re cruising around.
In standard-wheelbase guise, you’re looking at 0-62mph in 11 seconds and a top speed of 121mph in the V220d, compared to 7.8sec and 136mph in the V300d. There’s plenty of low-down torque and it doesn’t feel too slow when pulling away from traffic lights, which is a positive at least.
